In addition to unveiling its new-look 2007 livery, the Holden Racing Team also revealed that two-time V8 Supercar champion Glenn Seton would be joining it🍌s line-up fo🌄r the year's two endurance rounds at Sandown and Bathurst.

A life-long friend of HRT ⭕team boss Mark Skai🐽fe, the 41-year old joins Holden's 'factory team' after a long association with rival Ford, marking the first time he will have represented the GM brand.

"Glenn and I have been mates since we were kids, and we were team-mates early on in our careers at Gibs🌱on Motorsport," Skaife said, "When the V8 era began, I was lucky enough to join Holden while Glenn joined the 'dark side'. Since he stopped driving fജull-time, I've been trying to entice him over and now I'm rapt that he's finally accepted and he'll be able to drive a good car at last!"

For Seton, winner 🍎of the ATCC/V8 Supercar Championships in 1993 and 1997, the 'aversion' to Holdens has run 🍌deeper than just on the race track.

"This will be a whole new experience for me, as I don't think I've ever driven a Commodore - not even a rental car!" he smiled, "Mark has spoken to me about coming onboard with HRT for the past two or three years, but I have always had other commitments. This time, when he asked, I didn't have to think about it for too long. It's a great opportunity for me to potentially be a part of a winning team at Bathurst, which has always been my dream and a goal. The team's record speaks for itself, it has had great success in championships and at Bathurst, and I am really looking forwar🐼d to being a part 𝓀of 'Team Red'."

Seton, who has finished on the podiuꦯm at Bathurst threeꦿ out of the past four years with two seconds and a third, said that, while he does not have a full-time V8 ride at present, retirement was far from his mind.

"Just because you hit 40, it doesn't mean you lose the talent or the ski😼ll," he reasoned, "Some people lose their passion for racing, but that's something I haven't lost - it still burns within me. My career wouldn't be complete without a Bathurst win a🦹nd driving for HRT gives me the potential to live my dream. I'm not ready to retire and I'm looking at this as the next stepping stone in my career."
